Product Information

Full details

The Varilight Flex Outlet Plate in Brushed Brass is an ideal solution for homeowners and electricians seeking a minimalist, high-end finish for fixed appliance connections. Its standout feature is the screwless, low-profile design that hides mounting hardware, providing a clean and elegant aesthetic that complements various interior styles. While this plate offers a sophisticated look and a durable build, users should note that the screwless installation requires a precise fit on the backbox to ensure the front faceplate clicks securely into place.

FAQs

Is this socket compatible with standard UK backboxes?

Yes, it is designed to fit standard UK recessed wall boxes.

Can I use this for a toaster or kettle?

No, this is a flex outlet intended for permanently hardwired appliances, not for devices with plugs.

What is the maximum current rating?

The outlet is rated for 16 Amps.

Does the finish tarnish easily?

The Brushed Brass finish is durable, but it should be cleaned with a dry cloth only to avoid damaging the surface.

Are the screws visible?

No, the plate features a screwless design where the front cover clips over the mounting base.

Does this include a warranty?

Troubleshooting

Faceplate will not click or stay attached

Ensure the underlying backplate is not distorted by over-tightening the mounting screws, and verify that wires are not pushing against the back of the cover.

Connection feels loose

Verify that the cable clamp is tightened sufficiently to hold the flex cable, but do not overtighten to the point of damaging the cable insulation.
